A Bit of a Muddle at the Glade

We hadn't been to the glade for some time.....it's always lovely here with the Guardian paper bark trees...unfortunately with the weather being as it has been of late....... it's full of sandflies and midges.....itchy.

On the way home along out secret path I heard the frantic calling of the birds....I was used to this when I lived in the bush...it usually meant a predator was around.

At first I didn't see him I was so taken with the beautiful red and open mouth of the little thrush and then there he was..........what a beauty......a teenager python with the most beautiful markings...I'm sure would be a hit with the lady pythons (presuming it is a he).

I took photos.......it was hard to get anything decent of him so I settle on this and had a bit of a play.
Gosh! it's been rather hot today but I think tomorrow is going to be a stinker.
